Thursday's Sound Off

Last week I received a notice informing me that my Plan B insurance was going up $13 a month. Later in the week I received another notice that my dental, eye and ear supplemental insurance policy was going up another $9.51 a month. Thanks Mr. President for your Affordable Health Care Act. Hope those who don’t pay anything are enjoying this coverage.

UNLUCKY SENIOR

Philadelphia school gave out pink slips, why not around here? There’s way too many assistant people. Those who are making the big bucks should be doing the job and not sitting on their duff and passing it onto someone else. As the one retired school teacher wrote in, “There was one principal, one teacher for each grade and they did recess and lunch duty.” Tired of paying these big high taxes so they can live in luxury, now let them scrape to pay bills.

FED UP

As a taxpayer in Lower Pottsgrove, I think it’s time the people wake up. The people we put in office are there to do things for us instead of spending $30 million without the taxpayers being able to vote on it or to hire two women, one making $600 a day and the other $500. They should fire one of them and put on a ballot from now on anything over $10 million because that is our money.

WAKE UP LOWER POTTSGROVE TAXPAYERS

Drivers, for our safety and yours, if you have to put your windshield wipers on, put your lights on. And you paid for the signals on your car, use them. If you don’t know how to use them, you shouldn’t be driving. Please, for all our safety, use this equipment.

I saw in the news that there were thousands of new jobs created by these companies. I wish they would put in how many are full time jobs, how many have benefits and a decent wage because a part time job to me is nothing more than a half a job.

The woman who won the $590 million Powerball from Florida was a lucky person. She took the lump sum of $370 million and after taxes she got $278 million. What happens to the other $312 million? How is that money used and used for what and where?

AMERICAN CITIZEN

Obama bashers, get over it. You only lost by millions of votes. Keep suppressing the votes and you’re a sure bet loser. My college loans will cost a lot less.

A STUDENT

To answer your question regarding rabbit ears, I cancelled my cable and the picture on my TV is as clear and full of color as if I was still paying a cable bill which I’m not. You don’t get as many channels, but remember it’s free. I will never ever pay a cable bill again.

BIG MAMA

I wanted to say congratulations to all the Exeter boys and girls graduating. Keep up the good work.

A LOVING GRANDPARENT

I have a comment about paving certain areas in Pottstown. When the developers put all those buildings on Robinson Street, they didn’t put a finished asphalt down. I don’t how many years it’s been but the storm drains are still higher than the road. I guarantee at the Hanover Square, when they’re done building the houses, they won’t go back and put a finished coat down. If someone from the borough could look into that, I’d appreciate it.

I think some people are confusing Fox News Channel 29 out of Philly with Fox News on cable. They’re two completely different things.

Is it really necessary to close High Street every time you have some type of car show or motorcycle show? High Street was closed for two Saturdays in a row. It makes it very difficult for the residents who live on that street.
